About Long Beach Arena at Long Beach Convention Center

Long Beach Arena opened in 1962 as part of the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center complex at 300 East Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach, California. The venue is owned by the City of Long Beach, and the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center is operated by ASM Global. In its full arena configuration, Long Beach Arena holds approximately 13,500 guests for concerts and events; it can also be scaled down through the Pacific Ballroom configuration, a roughly 6,000-capacity setup created through a 2013 renovation.

The arena has served the Long Beach and South Bay live-event market for decades as a mid-size indoor venue for touring concerts, comedy, family shows, boxing, MMA, wrestling, gaming and esports events, conventions, expos, and ballroom-style programs. Its history includes R&B, Latin, rock, pop, combat sports, roller derby, and family entertainment, along with events such as The Forever Tour featuring WAR, The Whispers, The Chi-Lites, and Barbara Mason.

The venue is especially recognizable for its round, dome-topped arena form and its massive exterior Wyland “Planet Ocean” seascape mural, a whale-themed landmark long associated with the Long Beach waterfront.

How Much Do Tickets to Long Beach Arena at Long Beach Convention Center Cost?

Long Beach Arena at Long Beach Convention Center ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or fight card, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from family shows and comedy to high-demand headliners and combat sports.

For concerts featuring mid-tier or heritage acts, tickets are often in the approximate $40 to $125 range. Seat location is a major factor, with floor seats and lower-bowl locations typically priced higher than upper-bowl sections farther from the stage.

For high-demand headliners, prices can reach $150 or more, especially when floor seating, premium lower-bowl views, or strong demand pushes inventory higher.

For family shows and comedy events, tickets are commonly in the approximate $30 to $90 range. These events can offer strong value in upper-bowl and side-view areas while closer sections command higher prices.

For boxing, combat sports, and other sporting events, tickets are often in the approximate $40 to $150+ range. Ringside, floor, and close lower-bowl seats usually carry the highest demand.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing for popular shows. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for floor seats, front lower-bowl sections, and high-demand weekend events.

Getting Ready for Your Long Beach Arena at Long Beach Convention Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a downtown waterfront arena where parking, security, and event-night crowds can all affect your arrival.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early on major event nights to allow for parking fill and entry screening in the downtown waterfront area.
• Wear the right footwear. The venue sits in a flat, accessible downtown setting with minimal elevation, though standard arena stairs are part of the seating bowl. Comfortable shoes are still helpful for walking from parking, nearby hotels, or waterfront dining areas.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoors and climate-controlled, but the coastal waterfront location can be cool and breezy during arrivals and departures.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown Long Beach can be busy around major events, so give yourself extra time whether you are parking, using transit, or arriving by rideshare.
• Know your entrance. The Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center campus has multiple access points, and knowing which convention center entrance serves the arena helps on busy nights.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
